Good Riddance - Tell Me Why lyrics

To those in power it's always the same

Made so resistant to reason

Why just deny all the voices for change

As we stumble and fall stripping the process away

So who stands to gain from the righteous refrain

They say you get what you pay for

So we breach one more soul toss them out on the dole

Our shroud of indifference belies our benevolent tones

[Chorus]

So tell me why

You fight for your life then you throw me away

Tell me why

You legislate opinion and say it's ok, it's never ok!

So just what makes a life, what divides where we fall

And who decides which are chosen

But while we fight for the good like it's all understood

We lose what we love and morality's frozen away

[Chorus]

So what defines sacrament unholy vows

As you justify innocence somehow

How can I rationalize your morality

As you legislate your sad opinions on me
